Gleyber Torres Batting Cleanup Saturday

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres will be batting in the fourth spot Saturday against Chris Sale.

We all suffer from recency bias, whether we realize it or not. It's easy in this day and age.

If any sport demands that we step back and take a macro view […]

Scott Kingery's Three Hits Not Enough In Blowout Defeat

With J.P. Crawford on the sidelines with a broken hand, Scott Kingery has taken over every day starting shortstop duties for the Philadelphia Phillies. While he’s struggled defensively, June has been his best hitting month of the season, but lately, he’s been even better. Following three hits (including a home run), an RBI and two […]

Ben Zobrist Goes Deep On Friday

Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist hit his sixth home run of the season on Friday versus the Twins. Zobrist finished the game 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored. Zobrist is quietly having a solid season and is now hitting .290 with six home runs and 29 RBI. Zobrist is worth […]

Daniel Robertson Starts at Third Base

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson will draw the start at third base against Astros' righty Gerrit Cole. Willy Adames will slide over to second base Adeiny Hechavarria starts at shortstop. Robertson will bat sixth, but has a tough assignment against Cole on Friday. However, Robertson is worth an add in AL-only leagues and some […]

Chad Kuhl To 10-Day DL, Pirates Recall Max Moroff

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chad Kuhl was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday with a right forearm strain. He was removed from last Tuesday's game after the fifth inning.

Daniel Murphy Sitting on Friday

Washington Nationals infielder Daniel Murphy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Mark Reynolds will bat sixth and will fill in at first base.

Brandon Drury Recalled From Triple-A

New York Yankees infielder Brandon Drury has been recalled from Triple-A on Friday. He started the season at the top of the depth chart at third base. However, injuries and the emergence of Miguel Andujar have knocked Drury down on the list. Drury should see some starts at third and first base against lefties. However, […]

DJ LeMahieu Has Huge Game Against SF

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu carried the Rockies to the win in San Francisco on Thursday as he went 3-for-4 with the game-winning home run and five RBI. His two-run shot in the top of the ninth put Colorado over the top and bailed out struggling ace Jon Gray after another terrible outing. The […]

Whit Merrifield Possibly Going To MIL?

Kansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield is being inquired about by the Brewers, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. While KC is expected to be selling off any pieces they can this summer, Merrifield would likely be incredibly expensive since he's only 29 years old and still has three years of team control […]

Brandon Drury Expected To Be Called Up By Yankees On Friday

After absolutely raking in Triple-A, it would seem that the New York Yankees cannot deny Brandon Drury any longer. The team is expected to call up the versatile Drury on Friday, just in time for the start of their series with the Boston Red Sox. While down in the minors, Drury has batted .314 with […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Jonathan Villar Sitting on Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman/outfielder Jonathan Villar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Miller has not […]

Carlos Gomez Back In Lineup For Rays On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez will return to the lineup on Thursday against the defending champion Houston Astros. Gomez will play right field and bat eighth in the order, though he has struggled mightily this season and won't be a viable streamer on Thursday. Utilityman Daniel Robertson will sit while Joey Wendle plays second […]

Eduardo Nunez Sitting On Thursday Versus Angels

Boston Red Sox second baseman is not in the lineup Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Brock Holt will bat sixth and take his place at second base, though he is not a quality streamer for the matchup. The Sox are going with a balanced lineup of four righties and five lefties against […]

Jose Peraza Batting Leadoff, Jesse Winker Back In Lineup

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Peraza is leading off for the team on Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. He’s been shuffled around the lineup a lot as of late, but his .292 batting average the last seven days shows that he’s earned the move up. Outfielder Jesse Winker is also back in the lineup, batting sixth. […]
